I hereby volunteer to help the author set up a word press blog. Interesting stuff, but worst web page ever.

There was no email address on that web site, so maybe someone could forward my offer please.

From the URL: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~aldous/

The bottom of the page has his contact info

Thanks, I sent him an email.

It's not that hard to read. Plain is good - though it does look rather awkward on my widescreen.

Copy and paste the text into Word or OpenOffice if it's that bad :)

What about the pdf popups?

Those didn't bother me, because I couldn't be bothered with them.

how about resizing your browser window?

good content, horrible presentation. (a fellow academic!)

Simply numbering the list (or bulleting it) would have been an enormous step forward, regardless of whether you use w3m or IE8. Even by conference-poster standards, this is pretty grim.

I didn't have a problem with the layout, since I tend to use lynx. I thought it was a shame, though, that the author isn't a better writer. The content is fascinating, but it took some effort to follow along. (I guess I'm too accustomed to PG and JS :)

very interesting. thanks for the post.
